``No one can be happy with the kind of response which we've seen in New Orleans, and whether that's law enforcement or whether it's a provision of resources to help those in need, it has been an under managed setting,'

I still maintain that because of all the water, no communications, the "character" of the "victims", and poor local government activity, this was a completely unmanageable situation.

Let's remember that the damn hurricane did not completely leave Louisiana and Mississippi until early Wednesday. Bush has done all he could, imo.

I must agree, if for no other reason than the course was set by the nature of the disaster, and previous responses to the threat. Monday morning quarterbacking is best done in private by those responsible. Sniping, whining, complaining by the crowds of the effected, or the host of people who by virtue of the passage of time now think they could have done better, do little to solve the myraid problems that are being attacked by those charged with solving them. Things will work out.
